A therapeutic agent for osteoporosis, comprising an azepine compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, a method for treating osteoporosis comprising administering said compound and a use of said compound for the production of a therapeutic agent for osteoporosis. The compounds of the formula (I) have superior bone resorption-inhibitory activity and act to reduce the increased amount of calcium in blood serum, which is caused by bone resorption. Accordingly, these compounds are usable as pharmaceutical agents to effectively inhibit bone resorption, to prevent decrease of bone mass and to prevent or suppress the increase of calcium amount in blood serum which is caused by the progress of bone resorption, with regard to Paget's disease, hypercalcemia, osteoporosis and so on in which the progress of bone resorption is considered to be deeply associated with the symptom, and to the symptoms of progressing bone resorption (development into osteoporosis) along with inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
一种治疗骨质疏松症的药物,包含式##STR1##所示的氮杂环庚烷化合物,其中每个符号的定义如说明书中所述,或其药学上可接受的盐作为活性成分,治疗骨质疏松症的方法包括给予所述化合物,以及所述化合物用于制备治疗骨质疏松症药物的用途。式(I)的化合物具有优异的骨吸收抑制活性,并能减少由骨吸收引起的血清钙增加量。因此,这些化合物可用作药物,有效抑制骨吸收,预防骨量减少,并预防或抑制由骨吸收进展引起的血清钙含量增加,涉及佩吉特病、高钙血症、骨质疏松症等,其中骨吸收的进展被认为与症状密切相关,以及随着炎症性关节疾病如类风湿性关节炎进展,骨吸收进展(发展为骨质疏松症)的症状。
